After Action Report

The Hornets survived the Trail Blazers 98-94. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
